Sevilla vs Valencia 11.08.2023 Prediction: La Liga

Match Overview

The first round of the new La Liga season will witness a fascinating encounter between Sevilla and Valencia on Friday. Both these teams are extremely well-matched with each other, and we expect a closely contested game to take place. While Sevilla drew the last match that they played, Valencia were beaten by Aston Villa in a preseason friendly. 

Key Highlights

There have been a total of 31 games played between these two teams in the past, out of which Sevilla have won fifteen. Valencia have been victorious on nine occasions while the rest of the seven matches were played out as drawn encounters between the two teams. When these teams last met, in April this year, Sevilla won by a 2-0 scoreline.

Injury Report

Valencia will have to make do without the services of Marcos de Sousa for this game. Sevilla, on the other hand, do not have any problems with injuries at all.

Prediction

Although Sevilla have an upper hand over Valencia in this game owing to them playing in familiar conditions, we expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Valencia's defenders are known to put up a big fight whenever they are challenged, and this augurs well for the supporters of both teams. Sevilla will not have it very easy for themselves.
